As drug development continues to increase complexity, so do the primary packaging solutions that are being employed. Primary containers are no longer to considered as inert components whose sole function is to contain a drug product, but rather as an integral part of a drug delivery system. Additionally, concerns over product/packaging interactions and packaging robustness continue to be major topics of discussions within regulatory bodies. This session will focus on novel primary packing materials that are being implemented to address the demands of modern day drug development.3:15 pm - 5:00 pm; Location: 1E15 & 1E16Moderator: Ronald G.
